Product Information
Full details
The Fox Ranger 2.5L Water MTB Jacket is designed for adult mountain bikers who require reliable protection against wet, muddy trail conditions without sacrificing breathability. Featuring a specialized 2.5-layer waterproof fabric with a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating, this jacket excels at shedding external moisture while keeping the rider comfortable during active movement; however, it is primarily intended for trail use and may lack the heavy-duty insulation required for extreme sub-zero alpine environments.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 2.5-layer construction acts as an effective windbreaker against chilling breezes on exposed trails.
Does this fit over body armor?
The jacket is designed for a performance fit. If you wear bulky armor, you may want to size up to ensure full range of motion.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air-dry this product. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and seam-sealing tape.
Is it suitable for winter commuting?
It provides excellent protection against precipitation, but you will need to wear insulating mid-layers underneath for colder temperatures.
What does 5K/5K mean?
This refers to the fabric's waterproof rating of 5,000mm and breathability rating of 5,000g/m2/24hr, which is ideal for moderate active use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR restoration spray.
Stiff zippers
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris and apply a zipper lubricant if needed.
Water pooling inside pockets
Ensure zippers are fully closed before entering wet conditions; do not leave the pockets open while riding in the rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always rinse off mud and trail debris with fresh water after a ride. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. For drying, it is recommended to air-dry the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain the waterproof efficacy, you may need to reapply a DWR spray treatment once you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric. Always check the elastic cuffs and hem cord for tension before riding to ensure a secure seal against the elements.
